Male Organ Skin Sensitivities and Proper Care

Even the healthiest of men needs to pay close attention to male organ health. It’s easy to dismiss this part of the body as out of sight and out of mind, knowing that it is only visible to men and their intimate partners. But men with sensitive male organ skin need to take some extra steps to keep their manhood healthy, moisturized, and free from itching and discomfort.

Skin sensitivity is a common problem that afflicts about 38.2% of men, according to a study published by the National Institutes of Health. Often characterized by itchiness, rash, breakouts and even pain, skin sensitivity occurs when the skin comes into contact with irritating substances, triggering an inflammatory response. It isn’t dissimilar to an allergic reaction, but tends to be milder in nature. A guy with sensitive skin can help keep his favorite organ looking and feeling its best with these five tips:

Rule out a latex allergy.

A man whose male organ becomes particularly sensitive or itchy after having sensual activity with a latex barrier could have a latex allergy. Characteristic side effects of latex allergy include itching, rash, hives, coughing, wheezing, nausea, dizziness and shortness of breath, according to The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Don’t forget, though: even a man with only a mild version of one or two of these symptoms could still have the allergy.

Men who suspect this to be the case should talk to their doctors to get to the bottom of the issue. Dealing with a latex allergy isn’t the end of the world. Polyurethane and polyisoprene barriers can prevent pregnancy and the spread of partner-transmitted infections. Lambskin barriers could also be a good option for men who are in a monogamous relationship and are only concerned with pregnancy prevention (they do NOT prevent the transmission of infections).

Use a fragrance-free laundry detergent.

People with sensitive skin shouldn’t use laundry detergents that contain harsh irritants, and synthetic fragrances are a definite no-no. If a guy is using a scented laundry detergent, chances are his boxers or briefs could be causing him major irritation throughout the groin region. Switch to a laundry detergent that doesn’t contain any synthetic fragrances. The male organ skin will thank a man for it.

Sleep unclothed.

Sleeping bare feels great, but according to Men’s Health, a National Sleep Foundation poll found that only 12% of Americans sleep au naturel. Brian Steixner, M.D., told the publication that sleeping in undies can increase one’s odds of getting an infection. Boxers or briefs cause heat to remain trapped near the body, providing an ideal environment for bacterial growth. Plus, men with sensitive skin would do well to skip the chafing and rubbing that can come with constant underwear use.

Buy a different lube.

Lubricants are great for sensual activity, but they aren’t always so great for the skin. While most of the population can use lube just fine, men with sensitive skin will need to look for a product that contains only non-irritating ingredients. Astroglide recommends using a silicone-based product, as silicone is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin. There are also many options that are specifically formulated for sensitive skin, which can help ensure that pleasurable time is kept, well, pleasurable.

Keep the skin moisturized.

Sensitive male organ skin is prone to dryness or chafing, so men will want a manhood care product that can help keep it soft, moisturized and feeling great. A male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) that contains vitamins, antioxidants and Shea butter can revitalize and protect this important organ, and it is especially good for guys with sensitive skin. Men should also keep their skin hydrated by avoiding over-washing. Rinsing off after a hard workout is important, but showering too frequently can dry out the skin, leaving it prone to itchiness. Do the skin a favor by paying extra attention to its health.
